[opensuse-buildservice] linking to packages built with the build service
by Robert Schiele 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

Hello! Currently there is no way to link to a package built on the build service because if we do so this link will break on every rebuild since the release number will change. Because of that I recommmend to automatically create symbolic links without the version number as we have in the update directories on ftp.suse.com. For example: zypper.rpm -> zypper-0.6.15-0.1.i586.rpm If we do so we can just link to http://software.opensuse.com/download/.../packagename.rpm. This link will never break due to an automatic rebuild. Robert -- Robert Schiele Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@gmail.com "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur."

[opensuse-buildservice] osc release with new features
by Dr. Peter Poeml 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hi, Short changelog: - new "search" command - new "meta" command - initial support for commit messages - new "log" command (commit log) Full changelog: - added initial search support (some ideas are taken from the webclient): * when searching a package/project it is also possible to search for the search term in the <title /> and <description /> elements of a package/project. * show only exact matches - new meta command, replacing editmeta, editprj, createprj, editpac, createpac, edituser. Can either show existing meta, or edit it (--edit), or upload content (--file). Fix metadata change detection, which no longer relies on the timestamp of the temporary file. - log: - renamed previous "log" command to "buildlog" (short: bl) - implementing a log command to review the commit log - commit: - commit: implemented -m and -F option for the commit message. NOTE: if -m is used, osc uses a different mode of uploading files and commit them, namely the way which is currently documented in the api. So far, osc was uploading each file separately through the old backward compatible way. This way of committing can also be forced with do_commits = 1 in .oscrc. - other changes: - api now sends HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request for invalid xml. Thus, show the reply body because it contains helpful info. - if PUT on metadata fails with a 500, and http_debug is True, print out the body of the server reply - improved exception handling in some places - updatepacmetafromspec: read spec files in utf-8, or whatever the preferred encoding is in the locale Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees.

[opensuse-buildservice] RFC: osc support for SLES9 / Python 2.3
by Dr. Peter Poeml 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

SLES9 ships with Python 2.3. With my latest code changes, I noticed that I changed things in a way incompatible to Python 2.3 (using decorators). (I basically noticed this because byte-compiling failed according to the build log, although the build didn't actually fail due to that. I saw it by pure luck.) This can easily be fixed, so I removed the decorators and started to test osc on SLES9, and found more problems on the way. Python 2.3 didn't have a cookielib module, and it is not easy to add it because parts of it live integrated in the urllib2 module. Still, it is straightforward to just skip cookie support if not available. But there were further problems, which prevent the current codebase from working with Python 2.3. I fixed some further issues, and got as far as to a working 'osc build'. However, the next problem I'm facing is that I can't commit files (gets an internal server error back), and since urllib2 is not as easy to debug as newer versions, I stopped there for now. Overall, the situation gives me the impression that osc hasn't been working on SLES9 lately, or maybe since a long time, and nobody did ever complain about it. The download statistics show 6 or 7 osc package downloads in the last 50 days for SLES9. What do you think. Is it worth pursuing this further? Or should we maybe simply no longer build osc for SLES9? All other platforms in the buildservice seem to have Python 2.4 or newer. Peter -- Allen Gewalten zum Trutz sich erhalten. SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development

[opensuse-buildservice] Webpin command-line client
by Pascal Bleser 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yesterday I've written a very nice addition for our packager toolbox: a command-line client for Benjamin Weber's excellent openSUSE Package Search service (aka webpin). Very useful to find in which package a file (e.g. a shared lib or a header) is available, or to find out whether someone already packages foobar or not.

[opensuse-buildservice] A call for patterns (read one-click-install files :)
by Adrian Schröter 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

Hi, the build service is supporting the storage of pattern files from now on. Additionally it does create .ymp files for each repo from it. .ymp files (read One-Click install files) are very usefull to make it easy for your users to install a set of packages. We will also highlight ymp files in the new End-User interface comming to software.opensuse.org next week. This means, if a ymp file does match the user search request, it will be shown on top of the search list. Any other matches will come afterwards. There is no need to create patterns just for one package, because the new End-User interface will create them on the fly when a user clicks on a package to install. So, if you want to create also pattern files for your project, have a look here: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service_Tutorial#Create_Patterns Example pattern files can be also found in the KDE:KDE4 project, the resulting ymp files are here for example: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4/SUSE_Factory/ The api is validating your files on uploading, so have a deeper look on the output, if you get an error on uploading. But it is really easy to create patterns based on the example files. happy to help you in case of trouble :) adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian(a)suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Build errors I cannot resolve
by Damien Carbery 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I began using buildservice today. I am trying to build the gnome-subtitles mono project. I can build it on OpenSuse 10.1. I am using SUSE_Linux_10.1 and openSUSE_10.2 repositories in i586 and x86_64 architectures. My openSuSE builds fail during configure with: configure: error: gnome-doc-utils >= 0.3.2 not found even though I have 'BuildRequires: gnome-doc-utils' in the spec file. The SUSE_Linux_10.1 builds fail much later, even though they use the same source tarball and spec file. scrollkeeper-update -p /var/tmp/gnome-subtitles-0.6-build/var/lib/scrollkeeper -o /var/tmp/gnome-subtitles-0.6-build/usr/share/omf/gnome-subtitles Could not create directory /gnome-subtitles-0.6-build : Permission denied Could not create database. Aborting update. Cannot write to log file: /var/log/scrollkeeper.log : Permission denied Cannot write to log file: /var/log/scrollkeeper.log : Permission denied make[2]: *** [install-doc-omf] Error 1 The command lines look right - all referring to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT (/var/tmp/gnome-subtitles-0.6-build). Any ideas? Does BuildRequires control the packages added to the chroot environment? Damien ____________________________________________________________________________________ Fussy? Opinionated?

[opensuse-buildservice] More buildservice questions
by Paul Elliott 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

I have some more build service questions: (1) On my create home project page, it says: Please ask on opensuse-buildservice(a)opensuse.org mailing list before creating projects outside of your home:<login> namespace. So does this mean that you can create subprojects of your home:<login> namespece? How deep can subprojects be nested? The feature we were discussing yesterday: <publish> <disable /> </publish> Can that be per sub-project, so that you can have some public subprojects and some private? (2) On the Workflows page: Edit Packages add files add sources (http source, svn/cvs source) edit spec file (using web ui) add/remove users change version What is the difference between a source and a file? Can a source be a FQDN like source0 in a spec file? Explain what svn/cvs source is like. Does it have to refer to the buildservce svn/cvs? -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)io.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

[opensuse-buildservice] PPC target / OBS on PPC
by Jan-Simon Möller 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi ! Whats your estimation ... how hard/possible/impossible is it to setup obs on/for a PPC target ? We could need a probably mixed env, because intel* and ppc are used here. Would it be easier to use 2 separate setups (intel + ppc) or can it be done with e.g. sched/repserver on intel and workers on intel + ppc (which i thought should be possible).
